Among the objects found in this region are Makemake (MAH-kay-MAH-kay) and Haumea (hoo-MAY-ah). Also found in this region are a group of "classical" objects called cubewanos (cue-bee-WAH-nose). This region is sometimes named after Kenneth Edgeworth and is believed to be the origin of Centaur objects like Chiron. Because of orbital resonance, it has a gap from 40 to 42 AU. The moon Triton is thought to have been captured by this region, due to its similarities with Pluto, the largest object in this region. Home to several trans-Neptunian objects, for 10 points, name this region of the solar system found between the Oort Cloud and Neptune.
